Is this a genuine Eversharp?

[HyperCamper]

Just wondering if this is a genuine Eversharp. It looks a bit dodgy... Has some of the characteristics of those Italian imitations. If it is genuine could anyone identify it? Thanks!

Is there a Parker logo on the other side of the cap? It looks like a converter filler, so it might be a Parker-era Eversharp.

 

I know there was an Eversharp version of the Parker 45 (scroll down for a picture) but this looks nothing like it except for the nib.

 

It really reminds me more of a modern cheap pen than a vintage Eversharp... did anyone really go to the trouble of copying Eversharps including the logo?

Where was the pen made? There are some European Parker-era Eversharps that don't look familiar to us in the U.S.A.

I daren't say. The feed and the nib look quite similar to those on the Italian imitations that were made. So it could have been Italy...

The clear barrel and filler unit do not look like they belong to a copy or a cheap pen, does the Eversharp cap definitely belong to this pen????

The cap fits quite snugly and doesn't seem out of place. However, that's no guarantee.

I still don't know what it is, but I just won one on eBay.

 

(After spending so much time looking at yours, I really wanted one!)

It looks identical except gold-plated instead of chrome. Mine does not say Eversharp on the cap, which makes me think yours has the wrong cap... however, the cap looks nearly identical. Curious.

 

I'll post more details when I receive the pen.
